Abilene Slim SASS 81783 3,126 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I never kept count, but I do remember a new season began in September and ran thru April or so. A new show every week. Then it was "summer reruns" Link to post Share on other sites

A new show every week. Then it was "summer reruns" Lived near Philadelphia in the '50s; every August or so, the Philadelphia Bulletin included an illustrated chart of the new season's TV schedule. I remember pouring over that fold-out, trying to figure out what shows we would watch. When Bonanza came out in color, it changed the world. LL Link to post Share on other sites
Utah Bob #35998 17,164 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Seasons are so short with such a long break and no re-runs I frequently forget what the heck happened at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites

I saw an episode of Land of the Giants around 2am when I couldn’t sleep. The production quality was so bad, I couldn’t watch more than 5 minutes of it Link to post Share on other sites

Even into my adulthood, TV stations signed off after midnight or so with a patriotic video. Link to post Share on other sites
Michigan Slim 10,006 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Used to see the flag waving and anthem playing at the end of a programming day. On the weekends it was right after Elvira: Cleavage of the Dark. Link to post Share on other sites
